METex14 skipping NSCLC prognosis

Patients with METex14 skipping NSCLC face a significantly worse prognosis than those without the alteration2

3-4%

3-4% of your patients with NSCLC may have METex14 skipping – with up to 6% of NSCLC affected by oncogenic MET alterations2–4

LESS THAN

30%

Less than 30% of treatment-naïve patients with METex14 skipping NSCLC respond to non-targeted treatments5

Test early for METex14 skipping to identify your patients who could benefit from TEPMETKO6,7

Flexible biopsy options

Advantages and limitations of tissue and liquid biopsies8,9

Where tissue biopsy is not possible or suitable due to factors such as comorbidities or frailty, liquid biopsy is a viable alternative8

TISSUE BIOPSY

Tissue bipsy met-pathway

Advantages

  • Current gold standard for identifying TEPMETKO-eligible patients
  • Highly accurate

Limitations

  • Invasive
  • Risk of complications
  • Lack of or inaccessible tissue
  • Re-biopsies may be more difficult due to diminishing tissue or increased risk

LIQUID BIOPSY

abcs met-pathway

Advantages

  • Non-invasive
  • Faster turnaround
  • Enables ongoing monitoring

Limitations

  • Not yet widely available
  • Lack of standardization of testing
  • Less sensitive

Test early for METex14 skipping to identify your patients who could benefit from TEPMETKO6,7

With TEPMETKO, give your patients more moments that matter

TEPMETKO may offer substantially increased mDOR vs. capmatinib11

A matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) of TEPMETKO vs. capmatinib has shown improved mDOR, mOS and mPFS11

Learn more about MAIC outcomes

TEPMETKO demonstrated a manageable safety profile that maintained QoL10,12–15

Most common AEs were mild to moderate13
